From Levi’s straight-leg trousers to Carhartt WIP canvas styles, this collection offers alternatives to denim in a range of cuts and fabrics. Start with the fit you prefer, then compare chinos, cords and workwear trousers to find the right pair.
Slim, Straight or Relaxed Fit Trousers?
Slim fit trousers sit closer to the leg, while straight-leg styles keep a more consistent width from the knee to the hem. Relaxed fit trousers provide extra room through the seat and thigh. A tapered leg narrows towards the ankle and can appear on both slim and relaxed cuts.
Check the rise and inside-leg measurement as well as the waist size. Fit names vary between brands, so use the product’s size guide and compare any garment measurements provided with a pair you already own.
Chinos, Corduroy & Canvas Trousers
For trousers you can wear with both shirts and T-shirts, browse our men’s chinos. Navy, black and stone are versatile starting points, with a choice of closer and roomier cuts.
Corduroy trousers have a ribbed texture that pairs well with knitwear and denim jackets. Canvas trousers have a firmer feel and suit workwear outfits; selected styles include utility pockets and double-knee panels. If you prefer an adjustable waistband, look for drawstring trousers, checking the leg shape separately to find your preferred fit.
How to Style Men’s Casual Trousers
Pair chinos with an Oxford shirt and loafers for a smarter outfit, or wear them with a sweatshirt and trainers. Straight-leg cords work well with boots and knitwear, while relaxed canvas trousers suit a T-shirt and chore jacket.
Consider the hem alongside your footwear: a tapered leg leaves more of the shoe visible, while a wider leg can sit over boots or chunkier trainers.
